When xen_blkif_disconnect() is called, the kernel thread behind the
block interface is stopped by calling kthread_stop(ring->xenblkd).
The ring->xenblkd thread pointer being non-NULL determines if the
thread has been already stopped.
Normally, the thread's function xen_blkif_schedule() sets the
ring->xenblkd to NULL, when the thread's main loop ends.
However, when the thread has not been started yet (i.e.
wake_up_process() has not been called on it), the xen_blkif_schedule()
function would not be called yet.
In such case the kthread_stop() call returns -EINTR and the
ring->xenblkd remains dangling.
When this happens, any consecutive call to xen_blkif_disconnect (for
example in frontend_changed() callback) leads to a kernel crash in
kthread_stop() (e.g. NULL pointer dereference in exit_creds()).
This is XSA-350.

Some code does not directly make 'xenbus_watch' object and call
'register_xenbus_watch()' but use 'xenbus_watch_path()' instead. This
commit adds support of 'will_handle' callback in the
'xenbus_watch_path()' and it's wrapper, 'xenbus_watch_pathfmt()'.
This is part of XSA-349

Commit 8410d38c2552 ("loop: use __register_blkdev to allocate devices on
demand") simplified loop_init(); so computing the range of the block region
is not required anymore and can be dropped.
Drop dead assignments in loop_init().
As compilers will detect these unneeded assignments and optimize this,
the resulting object code is identical before and after this change.
No functional change. No change in object code.

Add the module option and configfs attribute max_sectors to allow
configuring the maximum size of a command issued to a null_blk device.
This allows exercising the block layer BIO splitting with different
limits than the default BLK_SAFE_MAX_SECTORS. This is also useful for
testing the zone append write path of file systems as the max_hw_sectors
limit value is also used for the max_zone_append_sectors limit.

null_handle_discard() is called from both null_handle_rq() and
null_handle_bio(). As these functions are only passed a nullb_cmd
structure, this forces pointer dereferences to identiify the discard
operation code and to access the sector range to be discarded.
Simplify all this by changing the interface of the functions
null_handle_discard() and null_handle_memory_backed() to pass along
the operation code, operation start sector and number of sectors. With
this change null_handle_discard() can be called directly from
null_handle_memory_backed().
Also add a message warning that the discard configuration attribute has
no effect when memory backing is disabled.
No functional change is introduced by this patch.

When open zone resource management is enabled, that is, when a null_blk
zoned device is created with zone_max_open different than 0, implicitly
or explicitly opening a zone may require implicitly closing a zone
that is already implicitly open. This operation is done using the
function null_close_first_imp_zone(), which search for an implicitly
open zone to close starting from the first sequential zone. This
implementation is simple but may result in the same being constantly
implicitly closed and then implicitly reopened on write, namely, the
lowest numbered zone that is being written.
Avoid this by starting the search for an implicitly open zone starting
from the zone following the last zone that was implicitly closed. The
function null_close_first_imp_zone() is renamed
null_close_imp_open_zone().

With memory backing disabled, using a single spinlock for protecting
zone information and zone resource management prevents the parallel
execution on multiple queue of IO requests to different zones.
Furthermore, regardless of the use of memory backing, if a null_blk
device is created without limits on the number of open and active zones,
accounting for zone resource management is not necessary.
>From these observations, zone locking is changed as follows to improve
performance:
1) the zone_lock spinlock is renamed zone_res_lock and used only if
zone resource management is necessary, that is, if either
zone_max_open or zone_max_active are not 0. This is indicated using
the new boolean need_zone_res_mgmt in the nullb_device structure.
null_zone_write() is modified to reduce the amount of code executed
with the zone_res_lock spinlock held.
2) With memory backing disabled, per zone locking is changed to a
spinlock per zone.
3) Introduce the structure nullb_zone to replace the use of
struct blk_zone for zone information. This new structure includes a
union of a spinlock and a mutex for zone locking. The spinlock is
used when memory backing is disabled and the mutex is used with
memory backing.
With these changes, fio performance with zonemode=zbd for 4K random
read and random write on a dual socket (24 cores per socket) machine
using the none schedulder is as follows:
before patch:
write (psync x 96 jobs) = 465 KIOPS
read (libaio@qd=8 x 96 jobs) = 1361 KIOPS
after patch:
write (psync x 96 jobs) = 456 KIOPS
read (libaio@qd=8 x 96 jobs) = 4096 KIOPS
Write performance remains mostly unchanged but read performance is three
times higher. Performance when using the mq-deadline scheduler is not
changed by this patch as mq-deadline becomes the bottleneck for a
multi-queue device.

For a null_blk device with zoned mode enabled is currently initialized
with a number of zones equal to the device capacity divided by the zone
size, without considering if the device capacity is a multiple of the
zone size. If the zone size is not a divisor of the capacity, the zones
end up not covering the entire capacity, potentially resulting is out
of bounds accesses to the zone array.
Fix this by adding one last smaller zone with a size equal to the
remainder of the disk capacity divided by the zone size if the capacity
is not a multiple of the zone size. For such smaller last zone, the zone
capacity is also checked so that it does not exceed the smaller zone
size.

Previously, we can't map same device name from different sessions
due to the limitation of sysfs naming mechanism.

total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 0 Sep 2 16:31 !dev!nullb1 -> ../../../block/rnbd0
We only use the device name in above, which caused device with
the same name can't be mapped from another server. To address
the issue, the sessname is appended to the node to differentiate
where the device comes from.
Also, we need to check if the pathname is existed in a specific
session instead of search it in global sess_list.

This commit makes the path parameter optional for map_device. When the

establish the rtrs connection.
If the session does not exist, and the path parameter is also missing,

The driver core ignores the return value of struct device_driver::remove
because there is only little that can be done. For the shutdown callback
it's ps3_system_bus_shutdown() which ignores the return value.
To simplify the quest to make struct device_driver::remove return void,
let struct ps3_system_bus_driver::remove return void, too. All users
already unconditionally return 0, this commit makes it obvious that
returning an error code is a bad idea and ensures future users behave
accordingly.
